Taraneh Mousavi

This young women was Taraneh Mousavi, allegedly she has been raped and other sources say she has been murdered after. She has been arrested on the 28th June near Ghoba mosque in Tehran. A burned corpse has been found near Ghazvin. Story here and here.

UPDATE: this story was a hoax, anyway it has been recorded even by Amnesty International, so... anyone can make a mistake. The whole thing is quite unfortunate, first: because the story as it was made up, was plausible, because this kind of atrocities happens. Second, because fake stories harm the sincere intentions of the activists (including myself) and turns to a weapon in the hands of the IRI to accuse the opposition movements of lies. Unfortunately one can not verify each single story and therefore I apologise for having posted it.

Devils!! I often loose my faith in God,Sin and punishment after such incidents.Truely speaking I have seen innocent people who try to lead a decent life are put to such ordeals where sinners and murdurers roam with smiling faces. why is this so??What sin Tahrehna did to suffer like this? where is justice for her murderers? IRAN SPEAK OUT

My friend, the story was not a hoax, the story is totally real and this omid something has nothing to do with it. Reza Valizadeh and Leyla Malekmohammadi were the first ones to report it and they still confirm it:

Bullshit - that is just SO convenient that all this is reported, and then one shitbag says it's fake, and you believe it?

Just like the music teacher of Neda Ahga Soltan, and the videos showing the crowd capturing the basiji who killed her, then later he was filmed (by iranian rats) and said 'oh no, he saw no one, no basiji, it must have come from the crowd of protestors (the bullet) BECAUSE THEY FORCE THEM TO LIE AND TO RETRACT THEIR STORIES, you fucking idiot.

You called me a fucking idiot? I am just being critical and if I cannot provide enough evidence I have the right to doubt. Please show respect at least to these martyred people and keep your vulgarities for yourself!
